peppers and greenhouse

[Joe Shmoe]

Hi folks.

This is my first year with growing my own veg - and I am learning slowly. As I eat a lot of peppers, I would like to stat growing my own BELL PEPPERS next year.

I've read quite a few stories about how difficult they are to grow - I'm guessing becuase the UK has short summers??

I am prepared to buy/build a greenhouse. Will it need to be heated for success ? Can anyone tell me how to go about this in order to maximize success - I cant seem to find a diffinitive guide on how best to grow them.

Regards Joe.

You may want to investigate inexpensive hoop houses before spending a lot on a green house.

Whether or no you would need a heater depends on location, and agricultural practices. Starting peppers inside under grow lights and then moving them to clear, or black plastic covered beds can speed up the harvest date.
